Dubbed by Microsoft as the “subscription service for your life”, Microsoft 365 will include Office applications such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, Publisher, Access, Skype and Teams, as well as new services and apps.

In a blog post, Microsoft unveiled several updates to be rolled out over the coming months.

Additionally, Microsoft intends to launch two new applications; PowerPoint Designer, which it said will support creativity and efficiency, and Microsoft Family Safety, which helps users to manage screen time and access location data.
